I/O Riser

The I/O riser provides most of the systems rear I/O including four GbE LAN ports, serial and video connectors. In

addition, the optional advanced server management upgrade kit with mounting and connections supports the

Intel® RMM3 LAN management module.

The I/O riser supports the following features:

 Two Intel® 82576 PCIe based Ethernet controllers provides advanced networking control capability.

 Two PCI Express interface (x2), 2.5 Gbps

 Two fully integrated GbE Media Access Control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) ports

 Support Ethernet interfaces of 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T

 Support generation two Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT 2) capability

 Support Intel® VT-c, VMDq, PCI-SIG, SR-IOV & IPsec

 Dual gigabit LAN controllers located on the I/O Riser support four Gigabit Ethernet ports

 One serial port

 One VGA (video) port. The rear VGA port supports resolutions as high as 1600x1200

 Integrated Baseboard Management Controller (BMC – Pilot-II): iBMC is a highly integrated single-chip

solution, integrating several devices typically found in servers. The following features are integrated into

iBMC:

 Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)

 Server Class Super I/O (SIO)

 Graphic Controller

 Remote keyboard, video, mouse and switch (KVM) features

 Supports advanced server management with the addition of an Intel® Remote Management Module 3

(Intel® RMM 3) installed on a custom I/O riser bracket with dedicated Ethernet maintenance port. The Intel®

RMM3 NIC provides an upgrade path to advanced server management capabilities.. Refer to section 2.5.10

for RMM3 module details. When installed with Intel® RMM3, supports advanced remote manageability for

KVM (Keyboard, Video & Mouse) redirect, media redirect, USB 2.0 redirect, and can use the IPMB bus

interface to remotely shut down the host system via a remote machine.

 Support sensor system management buses for field replaceable unit (FRU)

 Temperature sensor

 Chassis lid open detection switch

 Force BMC update jumper
